Sisal and EIFS

Sisal installed. It will be 32" to the top of the 4 1/2" chair rail that will be installed directly above the sisal.

The Mason's relocated their tent and the EIFS guys built theirs at the front to allow for EIFS installation under the arch and in the gable.

Brick Almost Complete

We had to tent the front of the building to allow for brick progress. The brick has been laid up to the arch in the heated tent. The water has also been heated.

Fire Suppression System Riser Built

I had the Sub Contractor move the above main out and around to accommodate the steel ladder to be installed.

Drywall Finish and Paint!!

Drywall is complete. And painting is underway. The door frames will be primed today and the walls will be primed by tomorrow.

Asphalt

Greenbaum was here doing the appropriate testing as the asphalt was laid. All tests passed and there were no concerns about any aspect of the asphalt.

This is the area that we proposed fixing while we have equipment onsite. This was an old utility ditch that had sunken over the years. Craig and Ray approved this and asked it to be included in the job as a change order. McClure will not be responsible should this area continue to settle as we simply filled in the low spot as opposed to excavate and re-compact. I don't believe it will sink anymore anyway.

Asphalt is complete. The only thing left is to seal the existing lot. Ideally this would be done at the end of the project. The sealer plants close down at the end of October until Spring. We are still deciding whether or not to go ahead and seal within a couple weeks or to wait and return in March or April.

Sewer is hooked up

The sewer was air tested and hooked to the building. The Hoe Ramming ended last friday and from then until now it was straight digging. One more utility is finished.

Tile is underway. The font has been prepped with the appropriate waterproofing and will be tiled soon.

3 Phase Electrical Service

REMC is here to bring the 3 phase service across the road. This is the first step in upgrading the electrical service. We will soon replace the transformer and complete the 3 phase service.

The weather is still wonderful. We haven't received any rain since the lumber package (with one slight exception)

More Brick

The brick is 30% complete! 

Brick has begun

What a difference this will make compared to the vinyl siding that was originally there. The neighbors should be happy.

Here's the church, Here's the steeple...

This was an exciting delivery to receive!

It now will not be mistaken for a business. Looks great!

Slow progress at the sewer

We had the manhole delivered. We are pat all the utilities so it seems to be slightly faster than before. This is day 4 on Hoe Ramming.

The mechanical mezzanine is dry-walled and finished

Insulation, Drywall, Electrical and Plumbing begins

We are dry-walling the mechanical mezzanine to allow for installation of the mechanical units, ductwork, and schedule 40 sprinkler pipe

The studs and electrical boxes have been marked on the floor to insure that no electrical boxes are covered up and to have a visual of what is in the wall.

Still no rain in sight. 

Misc. Framing Complete

New steeple base is framed

New folding partition framing and font walls

Commercial tyvek installed

Straight shingle rows!!

This is really unfortunate. This is out 3rd day hoe ramming rock and we've only moved 15-20'. The operator was telling me how he's operated a Hoe Ram for years and can never remember getting into rock this hard. The good news is: The micropiles go 10' into this bedrock....It's not going anywhere!
